An apparatus for detecting miscapped bottles for use in a bottle line comprises a bottle cap position detector system having signal emitters and signal detectors. The signal emitters are positioned adjacent a conveyor transporting bottles so as to direct signals to different cap target locators. The presence or the absence of a signal detected by the signal detectors indicates one or more incorrect cap positions.
